7:08 am
moment. but first margaret brennan is at the white house with how it started at the top. good morning. >> good morning. the president spent a working weekend at camp david laying out the republican legislative agenda over immigration reform but he took time out to rebut a scathing review of a book about him. >> i consider it a work of fiction. >> with republican allies beside him, president trump displayed his own fire and fury over michael wolff's book. the author obtained scathing quotes from former strategist steve bannon who the president now refers to as sloppy steve. >> that's why sloppy steve is now looking for a job. >> on sunday bannon tried to walk back his remarks. in a statement, he claimed those comments were not aimed at don junior but rather aimed at paul manafo manafort, the trump campaign

chairman who had also attended the meeting. throughout the book the president is characterized as semiliterate and has a problem. on saturday mr. trump tried to brush off damaging comments attributed to economic adviser gary cohn who allegedly said the president is an idiot surrounded by clown. and on twitter the president defended his mental fitness saying he is a, quote, genius and a very stable genius at that. the president's mental state has been publicly questioned before, most notably by republican senator bob corker. >> the president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the confidence that he needs to demonstrate. >> and more frequently by democrats like democratic congressman adam schiff. >> we have a seriously flawed human being in the oval office.
7:10 am
>> across tv networks on sunday, the president's allies came to his defense, perhaps none so vehemently as the president's adviser stephen miller. >> he won against 17 incredibly talented people. >> after that statement miller was asked to leave the set and according to a cnn set refused to do so. he was then escorted out by security. president trump tweeted the anchor who did the interview was full of, quote, anger and unfairness which suggests the president himself was watching. >> margaret, thanks. michael wolff, the author of "fire and fury" is with us. good morning, michael. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> a lot has come out. >> to say the least. >> to say the least. the president has felt the need to describe himself as a stable genius. based on your reporting, are there people in the white house
7:11 am
talking about trying to remove him from office? >> they're not tryi inin inin i about trying to remove him from office. they don't know what's going to happen from day to day. this is for them as for everyone an extraordinary experience, and i think that they certainly question what's going to happen here, like everybody else. there are many moments in which the 25th amendment has come up, the 25th amendment which gives the cabinet the ability to remove the president. and they don't say the cabinet is going to remove the president, but they do say things like, this is a little p25th amendment here. >> well, it's interesting. you say that bannon was going around the white house saying there was a 33% chance the president would be impeached, a 33% chance that he would resign under threat of the 25th amendment, correct?
7:12 am
>> correct. and a 33 1/3% chance he would limp to the finish line but a zero percent chance he would have another term. >> president trump said yesterday the book is a fake book and you're totally discredited as an author. is everything in the book true? >> everything in the book is true. >> your response to that. >> i'm waiting for a nickname. >> you don't have one yet. >> where's my nickname. >> he did call it a work of fiction. steven miller continued that narrative over the weekend. >> i can rely by say donald trump has never read a work of fiction. >> one person that appears on every page of this book is hope hicks. in terms of what she saw, was aware of, and participated in, how big of an impact would she have in the mueller investigation if she did, in fact, cooperate with him and how worried should the president be?
7:13 am
>> huge hope is at the center of the investigation. >> she worked for ivanka trump beforehand. >> right. she was a fashion p.r. person and then she was second to the campaign and she became very close to the candidate and then very close to the president of the united states. and now for all intent and purposes, she is the president's most senior adviser. >> did you speak with any members of the president's cabinet about this book? >> did not. >> and did you speak with the vice president? >> i did not. >> when is the last time you spoke with the president about this book. >> as i said all along here and the white house seems very focused on this, i spent about three hours talking to the president over the course of the
7:14 am
campaign, the transition, and in the white house. but the important point i want to make is this book is not about my impression of the president. i came into this with no agenda. i continued to have no political -- >> fair enough, fair enough. it reads like a narrative. it was as you say semipermanent, like a fly on the wall. it also reads like your main source is steve bannon. would that be correct to say that? >> it would not be correct. he's a very large source here, but there are many, many -- >> but you have written it's worse than anybody thought that he's mentally unstable, that he's an idiot. >> i didn't say -- i did not say he's mentally unstable. i would not be qualified to do this. i would say i have merely described and mostly not my impressions, the impressions of
7:15 am
other people. >> but the president denies he ever spoke with you for this book at all. >> i think he probably had no idea he was speaking to me for this book. when i would meet the president in the white house, we would chat as though we were friends, and that was what -- >> that's not an interview to greet someone and say hello. >> you say three hours. you spent three hours. >> through the course -- first, i have sat down with the president for extended periods of interviews, but there are other periods -- and that's essentially what he's saying. they're trying to parse this, oh, i didn't know i was speaking to him when i saw him in the white house. >> just to clarify, the white house says the last time they have a record of you meeting with president trump was february 2017. that's just barely 100 days into his presidency. did you interview him after that date? >> let's separate this out. i interviewed him at that point.
7:16 am
after that, we would -- we would -- we would speak -- i'm sure he didn't think they were interviews, and in all fairness, he might say, i was not being interviewed. >> how much do you think things have changed since john kelly became chief of staff? >> i think -- they've obviously changed a lot. >> bannon's gone. >> bannon's gone, priebus is gone, spicer's gone. >> most of the sources. >> so the core of the white house of that first -- the first six months, the core of that staff is gone. so a lot has -- a lot has changed given the staffing of the white house. the thing that has not changed, of course, is midonald trump. >> michael wolff, we're out of time, thank you so muching. >> kennedy airport is back in service after a day of stranded

7:19 am
>> reporter: it could take several days to get the mountains of bags back to who they belong to. several airlines, most are international carriers, and many did not reduce their flying schedule to reduce the conditions on the ground here. that led to too many planes and not enough gate. the port authority being criticized for its lack of communication over the weekend. it's worth noting american and jetblue reduced their flight schedules and did not see the turmoil we saw here at jfk. >> what a disaster. thank you so much. a fire-fighting foam meant to save lives may have put them in danger. how a chemical could be to blame for serious health problems for

8:34 am
kantor tis a reporter fehr the nor times and melena ryzik. good morning. >> good morning. let's talk about the style of wearing all black made a substantive statement. >> i woke unthis morning and said did i have a crazy dream last night in which the leading actresses of hollywoodeffective challenge and dismantled the challeges of the red carpet by saying we're not here just to be pretty objects but we're going to use the red carpet to change the gender dynamics of hollywood. >> and seth meyers compared himself to being the first dog sent up to space. >> a lot of anticipation as to how he would handle last night. what did you think of his performance?
8:35 am
>> that's right. he dressed the el farnlt not in the room as he put it and he made some cutting jokes. he mentioned harvey weinstein. he got booed and then he was able to go on and be the awards host we might have expected. anybody involved in the oscars telecast was watching that closely and probably -- >> harvey weinstein was the awards guy, right? he was like the singular focus. to see the change, pretty remarkable. >> this is the world he constructed. he was one of the architects of the award show circuit as we know it which is part of what made last night pow everiful. on the one hand he kind of hovered in the room, but on the other hand people didn't really talk about him that much. there was a very strong push on looking forward, o looking to the future, doing better. >> and some of these numbers are still striking. we talked about them last week with you and others. 4% of the directors on the top grossing films that this country
8:36 am
makes are women, only 4%. even cinemaing to gra fehrs. i think women wonder if you've seen that change coming. >> one of the comments on the night came from natalie portman who was announcing the director awards and she said here are the all-male director nominees. it was a factual statement but she made the subtle point that women had not been included. >> and melena, oh pla winfrey's speechlt she kind of stole the show. she was able to sort of weave a historical narrative with kind of the changing times and her own personal stories. >> yeah, absolutely. we all knew oprah could do an inspiring fiery rousing speech and what a great reminder. i think what she was so effective at was reignited the scene. the fact that this is a moment
8:37 am
of inspiration for women, that this could be a moment of change. she kind of brought all of that together in a really powerful w way. >> as inspiring as that was, one of your pieces that struck me with your inspiring stories is so many women are coming forward because they're afraid the window will close. as inspiring as oprah talked about what a change, you still talk about the window closing. >> i think we saw the actresses involved at the time of the campaign last night was to try and make that window bigger. part of what was notable is the quay they were trying to expand it to other industries saying this is not just about us. this is about the common experiences that so many women across the economic spectrum have. >> here's what's interesting. what do we expect from the oscars now? >> it's sort of like your moves, oscars. the golden globes ended up being very powerful but they're the
8:38 am
leading part of the film industry. so i bet those organizers are having some pretty interesting conversations right now. >> one of the lines that oprah used last night, she said, i want all the girls watching her now to know a new day is on the horizon. what would that new day include? how much inequality still exists in hollywood and jeff was talking about the numbers of directors, producers, women with leading roles in movies. >> women with speaking parts or women on screen, they often don't speak as much as men or have as substantive conversations in their parts. it takes a long time in movies, so it might take a little time to change but they pointed out that change needs to happen or they're going to continue to call it out the way natalie portman has. people are going to shine a light on that fact more often than in the past. >> what about the pay gap in
8:39 am
hollywood? how much focus is going to be on that going forward? >> people are getting a lot more honest about it. debra messing on the red carpet spoke. it on behalf of another women, so it was interesting. when you tal actsses in private, i've had many off-the-record conversat genera and it's a burning issue among acutely. >> of course, you can't compare compared to everyone else in america, all the other joining us. it was a great night. i loved following your tweet. diapers as you were watching the show as well. a true power woman. nkt you. ahead, mark phillips takes
